For the third time, I got excited about "parallel/sharding narratives," feeling like everyone is talking about throughput and performance taking off... But in the end, I still stop and think: Can I really get out of this position? Where to place assets, who to authorize, which bridge to use, and when I need to withdraw, is there enough liquidity? Honestly, the exit path is more important than the story. Recently, the typical collapse points of chain games are quite representative—when inflation kicks in and studios start to fold, the coin prices begin to spiral, and in the end, even "running away" becomes impossible. I’ve now set a simple, dumb rule for myself: first check contracts/permissions, sign less recklessly, keep a good exit button, and just watch the excitement—nothing more for now.
